Backyard Renaissance presents "Abigail's Party," a play by Mike Leigh and directed by Rosina Reynolds. This darkly comic tale on the outskirts of London in the 1970s has been described as the cocktail party from hell and the gathering gone wrong. About the play: "We’re not here to hold conversations, we are here to enjoy ourselves.” So declares the hostess with the mostest Beverly. A working-class girl in 1970s England completely obsessed with appearances, what’s “in”, and having a good time no matter the cost, Beverly only wants what’s best for everyone as long as what’s best is based on Beverly.
